Notes About The Poem

Contest-Musings on a bench-sponsor -Nette Onclaud   3/18/26

Bench of Illusion

Cry my heart, in silence
for love has come and gone
stealing dreams of tomorrow
leaving quiet sobs of reflection
where yesterday clings in sadness
and hangs like cocoons of memories
painted by my brush of illusion
to haunt the bowed head of my soul
